A pair of Flintlock Pocket Pistols, circa 1820, with turn-off barrels, box-lock actions each inscribed 'Sharpe' to one side and ‘London’ to the other within a decorative oval, thumbpiece safety-catches, and flat-sides walnut butts, one incised with the initials ‘BLV’ (2)

More Information

The trigger, hammer and frizzen mechanisms all appear to operate correctly. The walnut butts show some white residue, but no evidence of woodworm. Both pistols are dirty and would benefit from cleaning.
